Jim Stanford showing Labour's targets at this weekend's Activist Assembly. These were the sectors price gouging profits during the inflationary boost, raking workers over the coals. They need to be taxed, regulated and reigned in.

LABOUR NEVER SLEEPS. We were hard at work organizing at our Activists Assembly this Saturday after a week filled with school protests, CUPW rallies, election victories and delegates meetings.
